`
`Petition for Inter Partes Review
`Of U.S. Patent 8,278,351
`Exhibit
`ENZYMOTEC - 1081
`
`
`
`(cid:3)
`
`I, Daniel P. Margolis, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I obtained a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Rutgers College of
`
`Engineering in 1998, and a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Carnegie Mellon
`
`University in 2003. I obtained a J.D. from New York University in 2006.
`
`2.
`
`I am currently an associate in the law firm of Kenyon & Kenyon LLP,
`
`a position which I have held since September, 2006. In my nearly eight years as an
`
`associate, my practice has focused primarily on representing clients in patent
`
`litigations involving the chemical arts in United States district courts, the Court of
`
`Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and the United States International Trade
`
`Commission. Through this work, I have gained extensive experience as a litigating
`
`attorney, particularly in patent cases.
`
`3.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the Bar of the State of New York
`
`and am admitted to practice before the United States District Court for the
`
`Southern District of New York.
`
`4.
`
`I have never been suspended or disbarred from practice before any
`
`court or administrative body.
`
`5.
`
`I have never had an application for admission to practice before any
`
`court or administrative body denied.
`
`6.
`
`I have never been subject to any sanction or contempt citation
`
`imposed by any court or administrative body.
`
`(cid:3)
`
`1(cid:3)
`
`
`
`(cid:3)
`
`7.
`
`I have read and will comply with the Office Patent Trial Practice
`
`Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials set forth in part 42 of 37 C.F.R.
`
`8.
`
`I agree to be subject to the USPTO Rules of Professional Conduct set
`
`forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et. seq. and disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. §
`
`11.19(a).
`
`9.
`
`I have not applied to appear pro hac vice in any other proceeding
`
`before the Office in the last three years.
`
`10.
`
`I have substantial familiarity with the subject matter at issue in this
`
`proceeding. Patent Owner previously asserted U.S. Patent No. 8,278,351 (“the
`
`’351 patent”), the patent at issue in this proceeding, against Petitioner Enzymotec
`
`Ltd. in Investigation No. 337-TA-887 before the United States International Trade
`
`Commission (“the ITC case”). I served as litigation counsel for Enzymotec Ltd. in
`
`that Investigation, and, in the course of that representation, developed a strong
`
`familiarity with the ’351 patent, its prosecution history, and the general subject
`
`matter to which the ’351 patent is directed. I am also familiar with the prior art
`
`references relied upon by Petitioner in support of its invalidity grounds in this
`
`proceeding, which were similarly relied upon by Petitioner in the ITC case.
`
`Furthermore, I have thoroughly reviewed the Petition and accompanying Exhibits
`
`submitted in this proceeding.
`
`11.
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and
`
`(cid:3)
`
`2(cid:3)
`
`
`
`(cid:3)
`
`correct. I further declare that all statements made herein of my own knowledge are
`
`true and that all statements made on information and belief are believed to be true;
`
`and further that these statements were made with the knowledge that willful false
`
`statements and the like so made are punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both,
`
`under section 1001 of title 18 of the United States Code, and that such willful false
`
`statements may jeopardize the validity of the application or any patent issued
`
`thereon.

`Executed on: May 30, 2014
